In my line of work, I'm often asked for ways to strengthen the core muscles. First of all, let's define "core."The collective group of muscles that move, stabilize, and support the rib cage, pelvic girdle, and spinal column are what we refer to when we say core muscles.
To understand the function of the core, you must be familiar with each structure that the muscle is responsible for, when either moving or stabilized. For instance, the rectus abdominus, or the "6-pack muscle" has multiple functions. It can play the role of stabilizer in an exercise such as the common plank, which is seen at gyms across the country. For the classic crunch, the rectus abdominis is the muscle responsible for reducing the distance between the rib cage and pelvic girdle.These are just a few of the ways in which your core functions.

Trevor and the trainers at Black Clover Fitness are top notch. I was in a rut with my workouts until I joined Black Clover. The positive energy that this gym has keeps me coming back day after day. I’m so thankful for Trevor, his team, and his amazing workouts.

Black Clover Fitness has been fantastic for me over the past 6 months. I am a runner, 19 half marathons (plus 2 marathons) in the past 6 years. Over the last four years I had fallen into a pattern of carb loading diet to run and knee pain, due to over training.
In the 6 months I’ve been with black clover fitness, thanks to the diet plan by Cindy Hoskins I have lost almost 50 lbs. Michele Badalucco has setup a personal training plan that fixed my gait, flexibility, and strength to the point I’m running pain free for the first time in 4 years. I’ve knocked almost 4 minutes off my mile time and 30 minutes off my half marathon time. She is so good at targeting what I need.
And last but certainly not least is the happy, encouraging, and challenges Trevor Davis every day pushing me to my limits safely.
My daughter gets married in two weeks and I am looking and feeling better than I have in years. I will complete 5 half marathons this year getting number 21 in Las Vegas in November before my 60th birthday.
A person told me recently that in retirement health is the most important thing to invest in. Well worth the investment.
